Make up your mind, do you want the Constitution followed or not? He did not have the authority to either outlaw slavery outright or make freed slaves citizens.
Your response is most disingenuous.]
My response was accurate. Your attitude is hypocritical.
I think not.
Because Lincoln did not free all the slaves and make them citizens, you claim he is following the constitution. Okay...whatever. Did he follow the constitution in everything he did?
Lincoln, like many presidents, never felt the Constitution constraint him in any way. If he had, he would have known that the Southern states had every right to secede.
